Set of Two Cups and Saucers c. 1900

This is a ceramic saucer, created by French ceramist Pierre-Adrien Dalpayrat around 1900. The saucer is decorated with an intricate glaze that is characterized by a blend of blue, brown, and grey tones with a mottled effect, creating a striking visual contrast. Dalpayrat was a pioneer in the development of new glaze techniques, and this saucer exemplifies his masterful control over the ceramic medium. The artist was well-known for his innovative use of glazes and his exploration of different ceramic forms, making this saucer a prime example of his work.
